ARTISTIC MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS

The camp is pleased to offer highly talented students Artistic Merit Scholarships. The amount of the scholarships ranges from $75 - $200. The events listed below must have taken place during the current school year.

(scholarship awards cannot be combined.)


HOW TO APPLY:

Note: You must first register for the camp before applying for a scholarship.

Make sure that the camper's name is clearly visible. Email this to the camp: youngmusicianscamp@gmail.com and put in the subject line Camp Merit Award.
